In the year 2000, percussionist, Louie Antoon and lead guitarist, Clayton Bonjean began the formation of what is now Cadillac Willy. It all started in Clayton Bonjean's project studio. Bonjean and Antoon were honored to have Allman Brothers bassist Dave Goldflies sit in on the first recording sessions. In the beginning, the band consisted of Josh Pace, John David Sullivan, Patrick Wilson, Louie Antoon and Clayton Bonjean.
Over the past decade, many great musicians have played in Cadillac Willy like John Mark Turner, Scott Crompton, Robert Chaffe, Mikey J, Charles Pagano, and Tim O'shea. A few years ago Metz Barnes joined as the official singer for the band and Shawn "Shack" Shackelford recently joined on Drums.
